Is this part of that social contract I never get to read?

I think every headline about layoffs and restructurings and companies shutting down are proof that some people do in fact get to fire whoever they want whenever they want.

Very Hobbesian.

Civilized companies either don’t exist or don’t follow that social contract because it has been replaced with a different contract: an at will employment agreement.
